Under 100 Days

Well it's Finally here...the under a hundred days mark! Aaron and I both talked about what it would feel like "Baby can you imagine when we are to 99 days?" LOL We both thought that day would never come. Of course it has, and we couldn't be more excited. We are still counting down that is just something both of us can't avoid. I'm sure he'll be standing at the altar looking at his watch waiting for the big hand to catch up to the little hand on three. Wait what am I saying...he'll be looking at his Blackberry...hehe. That's so my Aaron... he doesn't even have a watch, he's so modern and un-apologetically. I love it.
Thanks to everyone for counting the days with us! These last few will be just as interesting as the others.

Saying goodnight from far away.

Goodnight my friend,
With all my heart.
I tell you this so when we part,
To each our chambers of
Sleep and slumber,
We'll still be close to one another.

How much can I Love?

First of all, let me start by saying that I dare not assume to be an expert, or even experienced in this subject. However, an insight given to me by a friend, I thought to be worthy of writing about.

Growing up, I have had friends and family whom I love, and some so very dearly that I felt their pain , cried their tears, laughed their laughs, and lived their years. I have a God whom I love so much that I try every day to emulate him, and live a life that honors him, and brings him glory. I now have a fiancee, that I love deeper than I have ever loved before, and we smile one smile, sigh one sigh, love one love, and live one life.

I was talking to a friend about this, about being able to love more than I have ever known was possible, and finding every day that I can love Jenna more than I did the day before. I had a sad thought, what if one finally reached the pinnacle of love, and couldn't learn to love any deeper. My freind gave me a thought - "what if, since God is love, and he is perfect, and we can never be perfect, (until heaven) we never reach this so-called pinnacle of love?" WOW. Did you folow that? I am really excited, because their is no limit to love, and we will spend all eternnity learning to love God more. Until then, I will do my best to love Christ above all, my perfect Jenna, my family, my church, and life itsself until He comes to perfect us in his love.
.....and yes, I know I'm weird. ;)

Gift of Giving

Aaron got me two things for my upcoming birthday! One is a violin...and the other was web cams so we can see each other...I have not seen the violin yet(I'm sure it's amazing) but the web cams are awesome. Now I can talk to him and see him. It's so nice to see his face...it's only been 4 weeks and a few days since I was there...but it feels like months.This is just one way my Aaron is perfect and so sweet to me.What a great idea for long distance engagements!
-Thanks Baby

" The perfect dress"

I have always heard that a bride to be will try on a ton of gowns ...but when the "perfect" one is put on she will know! Well...It's true. I did my dress shopping with my sister last weekend, she is also my matron of honor...so I had the privilege of making her try on a bunch of ugly dress' also! :)
I think I put on about 12 gowns. And the one I chose was third on the list I think. I put it on...and my jaw dropped! Yay...I love this one! It is strapless but I'm getting sheer 3/4 sleeves put on. It's ivory with a simple lace on one side peering around the front under the bust, there is lace also on one hip that wraps around toward the back...the lace is so delicate I liked it...and there are a few beads also. The lace looks like it is stitched with a champaign color. And that makes it look antique. Around the bust the material is gathered vertically. And then around the waist it wraps two directions down to the skirt. And there is a bunched type gather for the back/hindquarters down to the tiny train. There are mock round buttons down the back.

-I'm choosing a medium Vail in Ivory (I'm not doing an un-vailing) so it is just behind in my hair.

My Shoes are amazing! They are a pointed toe with a diamond flower decor on top and they are in Champaign color and the heel is maybe an inch & a half....strap back.

My colors are Ivory, Pewter, champaign and light peach.

Chocolate makes the heart grow fonder!?

I know ...your thinking ...what? Well, I was remembering the very first time my precious Aaron came all the way(a long trip for him) to Tn. for a visit to see me. It was a BIG DEAL! Like the biggest to us. It was our first meeting after four yrs. I can't even describe the emotions(so I won't). But it was funny, Aaron had a "surprise" for me. (he's such a sweetheart). So He arrived. And I ran down the stars down our deck off the back of the house...how I managed to do so without royally hurting my self I still don't know...oh..wait...ok "love gives you wings" :) anyway...I ran around the back to the side of the house where we park our vehicles and where Aaron parked...and I saw him going up the stairs to the front of the house...I yelled(gracefully ...kkehm...of course) AARON! And he turned and made it down three stairs not hurting him self also...and we meet in each others arms! For a split second it felt like...lol. Then we looked in each others eyes and smiled ...sigh...finally face to face. And I remember Aaron was so excited. Excitement mixed with not knowing what to do because he had never been to my house before. So he started unloading the car of his bags and gifts. He is so dearly funny. He gives his gifts away so fast! And now you probably guessed...yep chocolate. It was Govida chocolate. I thought that was it ya know, one gift...chocolate he's wonderful...then he pulled out my converse "Chuck Taylor's" I was almost in tears. Give a girl chocolate and shoes...all in one day...almost to much to handle. Well my heart was fond of him, and after we sat down in the living room with my mom and started sharing chocolates and laughs it was much more of a memory. It's not just the chocolate, its the way it was given.

-Chocolate and shoes before I do's!- LOL.

Comedy of errors

So each day is. In it's own way. Aaron's bmw is in the auto mechanic shop..and so he has been praying his way, to and from work...a strange way of events took his car there and we now chose to move past that. So we where given a word of advice today to sell the car and find another! As hard as this is for Aaron I'm sure...(because he is attached to his Beemer) he called me and said "well babe, don't get down!" What a blessed spirit he carries. He truly has learned to rely on God. It's a comfort to know your companion has this fruit already tackled and learned going into marriage. It tells me that no matter what I can count on Aaron to already trust God and have faith... I don't have to worry about when we get married if something goes a'rye that he will doubt God, thus causing heartache and stress to our lives!
- Young men! Learn to trust your saviour before you meet your mate...it will give her and you a comfort in life that only Christ can allow. A girl wants to feel secure...and this is another way that I TOTALLY do with Aaron.
And don't forget to laugh...The errors of life can be a comedy.
-Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Burks for teaching your son to love, honor and rely on Christ. :)
